After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 197
Isabella closed the door behind her, went back to her bedroom, and snapped a photo of the gold bars sitting on her pillow. She sent it to Ethan without a word. Then she took another picture of the gold jewelry scattered across her nightstand and sent that too.
After sending the photos, she called him. Ethan picked up almost right away.
“Ethan, I woke up this morning and found a pile of gold bars on my pillow. I checked, they’re real. Not fake or anything.”
“My nightstand is covered in gold jewelry too. All of it’s real, and honestly, it looks gorgeous in the sunlight.”
“I have no clue where any of this came from. I didn’t sleepwalk and rob a bank, did I? Or maybe I found a gold mine in my dreams?” She paused, then muttered to herself, “Even if I did, gold mines don’t just spit out shiny bars and jewelry overnight.”
Ethan was quiet for a moment before saying, “All of that is from my safe.”
Isabella blinked, totally confused. “Wait. Are you saying I sleepwalked into your room, cracked open your safe, and you didn’t even notice?”
Ethan laughed. “Why do you always think you were sleepwalking? I’m telling you, I took it out myself. Nothing sneaky. I just brought it over.”
She was still lost. “I never went into your room. How could I have taken your stuff? I get why you’d have gold bars, sure, but why so much jewelry?”
Ethan went quiet again.
He hung up before she could say anything else.
She called out his name a couple more times, but the line was already dead. He was clearly avoiding her questions.
Isabella stared at the gold. Her room really wasn’t safe at all if Ethan could just walk in whenever he wanted. Then again, he owned the place. Of course he had a key. It shouldn’t be surprising.
She looked at the gold one more time and grinned. Well, she was definitely keeping it. Gold prices were going up like crazy these days, and this little mountain was worth a fortune.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
